If you are a beginning poster, or haven't been playing for very long, don't sweat it. Don't discount your post by saying you "aren't very good", or "listen to someone else, not me", at the end of your post. This causes discredit to the advice that you are giving, which for all intents and purposes, may be the best advice the OP will receive.

Trust me, if you are way off, someone will correct you. Otherwise, don't worry about it. Argue your point. If you have a valid reason for your suggestion, then you have a good basis. That's all you need.

Just be sure to explain your theory. Every opinion is useful if it can be explained.

One time I threw in my 2 cents in a HH and Scuba Chuck ripped me a new one. I was probably way off, but no need to be so rude about it.

I haven't commented on a HH since, and perhaps it's best that I don't until I'm a proven winner.

Good advice, unibomber.

grnydrowave2: you need a new avatar. Also, if you don't comment on a HH, you won't know if how you'd play it would've been optimal. Your own play wouldn't advance.

Give your opinion on things, mate.
